Brock University is again ready to honour those in the community or within a particular discipline who deserves to be recognized for their exceptional work.<\/p>\n
The Office of the University Secretariat is looking for worthy recipients to be considered for honorary degrees.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn awarding honorary doctorates, Brock University has the opportunity to recognize those whose significant achievements and contributions to society have made a difference, whether here in Niagara, nationally or globally,\u201d said Senate Chair Scott Henderson. \u201cThe award is a means of honouring leaders in their fields, while reinforcing for our graduates and alumni the University\u2019s own values and ideals, evident in the achievements of each recipient.\u201d<\/p>\n
Honorary degrees are conferred at Spring and Fall Convocations, with the recipients delivering the Convocation address.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no deadline for nominations, but they\u2019re reviewed by the Governance Committee of Senate in early spring. The committee then makes recommendations on which nominees should be placed on a list of proposed honorary degree recipients to be selected by the President.<\/p>\n
